FFWS 2026 GLOBAL FINALS WEEK 1: BANGLADESH TEAMS | TALHA

Short answer: The Free Fire World Series (FFWS) 2026 Global Finals Knockout Stage began on November 6, 2026 in Bangkok. After the first two match days, Brazil's Fluxo W7M lead with 233 points. Bangladesh's Team Infinity are 18th with 108 points, right on the Phase 2 line, while Pirate Esports are 24th with 73 points.

Gaming With Talha previewed this world championship two weeks ago, when Bangladesh's two qualified teams were confirmed. Now the matches are live, and the first weekend in Bangkok has already shown how hard a 24-team world final is. Here is where things stand as Week 1 wraps up on Sunday, November 8.

What happened

The Knockout Stage is the first part of the Global Finals. All 24 teams play a total of 36 games, spread over the weekends until November 22. The top 18 teams on the overall table move on to Phase 2, and the bottom four at the end of the 36 games are eliminated (Sportsdunia, Day 2 points table). Each day has two sessions of six games, with the groups taking turns on five maps (Sportsdunia, Day 1 points table). The event carries a $1.2 million prize pool (Sportskeeda, Day 1 summary).

Day 1 (November 6): Brazil's LOUD finished the day on top with 124 points, just ahead of Thailand's Team Flash and Brazil's Fluxo W7M. Defending champions Buriram United Esports were fifth with 111 points and two Booyahs (Sportskeeda).

Day 2 (November 7): Fluxo W7M took three Booyahs on the day and jumped to first place overall with 233 points. Indonesia's RRQ Kazu climbed to second with 230 points, and Buriram United moved up to third with 211 (Sportskeeda, Day 2 highlights; Sportsdunia).

Day 3, the last day of Week 1, is being played on November 8, so the table will move again before the second weekend. Unofficial trackers can differ slightly; the final numbers are the ones on Garena's official FFWS channels.

How Bangladesh's teams are doing

Bangladesh has two teams in Bangkok, both from the FFWS Bangladesh 2026 Fall league: champions Team Infinity (Group D) and runners-up Pirate Esports (Group C, the group with Esports World Cup champions LYON).

• Team Infinity ended Day 1 in 17th place with 50 points and were 18th after Day 2 with 108 points (61 from eliminations, 47 from placement). That is exactly the last qualifying spot for Phase 2, with Blue Cheese close behind on 103.
• Pirate Esports had a tough start: 23rd after Day 1 with 28 points, and 24th after Day 2 with 73 points (45 elimination, 28 placement). They are in the bottom four for now.

(Standings: Sportsdunia, Day 1; Sportsdunia, Day 2.)

What it means for players

The good news for Bangladeshi fans is that nothing is decided yet. Only the first part of the 36 games has been played, and the Knockout Stage runs until November 22.

For readers outside South Asia: Free Fire is one of the two giant mobile battle royale games in Bangladesh, next to PUBG Mobile, and the country has its own FFWS league. South Asia also has three Indian teams in the field — Resurrection, Team Apex Gaming and TSG Pros — so the region has five squads fighting for Phase 2 places (Sportskeeda, Indian teams after Day 2).

The road after that: a Last Chance stage on November 27 and the Grand Final on November 28 at BITEC LIVE in Bangkok, as covered in our FFWS Global Finals preview.
